The study re‑implements 12 AI algorithms for electronic health records within a unified framework and evaluates them on MIMIC‑IV and NWICU datasets. It compares expert‑authored clinically meaningful tasks with randomly generated tasks, finding that pairwise algorithm comparisons transfer well across task families and datasets, yet clinically meaningful tasks show stronger task‑method interactions. The results also reveal that newer algorithms do not consistently outperform older ones, with gradient‑boosted trees remaining highly competitive when combined with modern EHR representations.
arXiv:2505. 16941v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Foundation models (FMs) promise to address core limitations of traditional supervised machine learning: (i) reliance on large amounts of labeled data, (ii) task specificity, and (iii) poor transportability.
arXiv:2608. 20315v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predictive models over structured electronic health records (EHRs) remain central to machine learning for healthcare, but few have jointly emphasized quantitative laboratory information and interpretability with respect to input medical events.
arXiv:2602. 19502v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Agentic AI systems are increasingly capable of autonomous data science workflows, yet clinical prediction tasks demand domain expertise that purely automated approaches struggle to provide.
